Thanks for the peek inside your Folio Society books. I don’t know if you have it, but the FS edition of ‘100 Years of Solitude’ is gorgeous! The artwork is beautiful enough to frame. And it comes in a beautifully illustrated slipcase to boot😊

I just looked that one up and it's stunning! I still need to read that book too, I've heard great things!

I used to do Folio’s book club where you’d get a bunch of free books as long as you bought 4 books at regular prices. Once it was an 8 book set of The Rise and Fall of The Roman Empire FREE! Plus Robert Graves’ Greek Myths vol 1 &2. Over the years I have about 20+ books from them, I was mainly getting important classics mainly to pass them down to a family I never got. Sadly they don’t do that deal anymore and I haven’t bought any in a while. I love there books and those slip cases

Oh that's so cool! I recently bought 4 folio books for the first time in over a year and I'm so excited for them to arrive! I love the idea of having them to pass on to posterity

Thank you 😁😁 And I did a book vs movie for crooked house last year! I enjoyed the movie overall and thought it was a good adaptation.

Nice collection! I love my Folio Society books too, and even own all but that Agatha Cristie novel that you shared. Now you're making me want to purchase it too LOL! Have you ever considered Suntup books? They're a bit pricey, but gorgeous. I also recently got a Century Press book, The Great Gatsby that feels so luxurious in my hands. It's their first book. Thanks for sharing!

I just saw your Bookshelf Tour video with the Suntup edition of Misery. Question answered. :)

@@routex1 I would love to own more of Suntup! That edition of misery is so incredible! Nice to meet another book collector!

Great video. I am just placing my first order with FS and I will be adding Jane Eyre to my cart. May as well as I’ve maxed out the shipping cost (yikes) 🤣 Your comments on The Haunting of Hill House made me laugh as I’ve owned a copy for a few years and am too scared to read it 🫣 Maybe this will be the year I tackle my fears.

Nice! So exciting ordering new books. And lol, I'm planning on reading it sometime in the next couple months so we'll see how it goes 😬 haha

Beautiful books. Haunting of HIll House I haven't read either, but a friend of mine loves it. I see yours has an introduction by Joyce Carol Oates which would be interesting. Interesting that Blade Runner was based on Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep (which I've never heard of and never saw the movie!). Where did the name Blade Runner come from? Yes, might be cool to hear you compare them!

@WhytheBookWins 2 жыл бұрын

I actually don't remember why the movie is called Blade Runner 🤔 I didn't even notice the introduction was by Joyce Carol Oates! I've never read anything by her, but will soon be reading her shirt story 'where are you going' which was adapted into a movie. I've heard so much about her, so I'm curious to read her work. If you read book house before me, let me know what you think!

Lovely books. Even though the Jane eyre from the 60’s is in rough shape it would be letterpress printed which adds to the reading experience and you have to pay a lot for any book done this way now days. I think it’s basically any folio edition before early 70’s was letterpress.

The Haunting of Hill House is one of my favourite books. I own this one and all of the three Brontë books by the Folio Society. But I think the most beautiful one I have by FS is True Grit.

Hello..really enjoy your videos. I am huge into folio..all the GoT and more...do you read the F books or other versions instead and keep F for "art"

Yeah I just collect them like collecting art. I actually do 99% of my reading on my kindle!

The Haunting of Hill House is scary, its strength is caring for the characters and their human reactions to ghosts and it’s not graphic, but one thing you may not like is the houses try’s to possess the main character

@WhytheBookWins 2 жыл бұрын

Hmm that kind of reminds me of the book the shining. Thanks for letting me know! I love books that make you truly care for the characters so that makes me excited about it

Folio Society makes some outstanding books. Well. Book interiors. But I really do prefer Easton and even Canterbury for their covers. It's frustrating. There are some exceptions. Folio Society put out an edition of Beowulf that is just stunning.

Easton Press also has an incredible deluxe edition of Beowulf that I want so bad!
